I had very weird situation with my PC, actually I still do. I had a match with so called Send- Safe company. I went on their web site and I started to receive their email messages. After some time, I clicked on a link inside one of their particular email, and I got infected. I tried with HiJack this, and I thaught it was done. My PC stopped with the strange behavior. But, after a while, my friends start calling me and begging me to stop with sending all those crap e-mails to them. I was numb. I heard about this term called Zombie PC. How to get my PC into a normal state? Thanks in advance.

You were spotted by a spammer. Spammers do that. Just because they know how. Very unpleasant situation you got there. You have reported your problem to your internet service provider? Do that if you didnt already. The best way to isolate your PC from these attackers is to use online webmail. Forget about Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook or Thunderbird for a while. Your IP address should be hidden somehow. Find a program over the internet that can hide IP for you.
